What does ready-time help with?

Use Ready Time for:

Morning routines: wake up knowing exactly when to start each step
Catching a flight: packing to boarding, timed out
Getting kids out the door: the calm version of your morning
Dinner prep: work backward from "guests arrive at 7"
Planning together: one partner likes being early, the other likes arriving just in time? Build a plan you both agree on

Why backward?

Timers count down. Ready Time counts backward from the end — and that distinction matters. You don't need to know how long something takes in the abstract. You need to know when to start so you arrive on time. Ready Time does the math.

The story: Ready Time started as Little Countdown, a side project I shipped a few years ago. I just relaunched it with a new name, new design, and switched from subscription to one-time pricing. Built during biweekly pairing sessions with a friend.
